Okay, MAJOR SALT COMING! Also a long post!

So I have the Disney Villains tarot deck but before I go into the salt part of the post, let's go into the positives.

The cards have stunning art and each card is appropriately themed to the villain generally speaking about 98% of the time. (IMO).

Another positive is the roster of villains included. Seeing even a few minor/underrated villains is pretty cool and impressive.

Some examples of these villains include Bowler Hat Guy, Madame Mim, Madame Medusa, and possibly Yzma.

Now onto the salt.

As impressive as the span of villains is, two villains are absent who (IMO) deserved a card.

King Candy

Frollo

First, there are other villains absent, but I'm sticking to these two since I've seen these movies. Now going in order, it is an absolute SHAME (IMO) that King Candy doesn't have a card, but I have an idea of which card suits him best.

The King of Swords. Although this card is given to Scar, and I do love how it looks, I believe that King Candy deserved it.

Plus, Scar appears on like three other cards, so I think it's okay for him to appear three times (sorry Scar, I do love you too).

Anyway, I'm going to go into some detail as to why I believe King Candy/Turbo deserves the card by going into the meaning of it and how it relates to him.

I'll admit, I have a lot of points and can talk about this for days, but I'm going to condense them to 3-ish. I'll do the same for Frollo too in a part 2 post.

Going for a two in one here: The card is about being an authority who uses reason and their intelligence for good. while the reverse of this is being cunning to deceive people.

After Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, he was very methodical about his approach to make it sound like he's their rightful ruler. He locked up their memories, then he fabricated the lie that she was a danger to their game. Turbo did his best to make sure nothing went unchecked and made sure to make the lie sound convincing to protect them (but mostly him). He's very strategic, and was able to come up with a plan to manipulate Ralph with 16 manipulation tactics in one go. He was even able to feign being concerned to play on Ralph's attachment to Vanellope.

I think the best line that best captures this aspect of the card is "Doing what's right, no matter what." AKA: He recognizes that it may sound harsh, but he makes his lies sound reasonable to protect his subjects and game.

The card also represents enjoying structure when upright. But it's controlling and oppressive in a need for order when reversed.

Turbo needs everything to be to be going his way, as he's a control freak.

Inserting the test animation here, he even says "You are a threat to my game, to the order I have maintained. And if there's one thing I can't abide, it's anything out of order!"

Also, the split-second something isn't in his control, he starts to fumble and break into either rage or nervously laughing. He's capable of coming off as cool and composed, but he's scared of being caught and it can cause him to lash out in anger (another aspect of the card).

Just as mentioned in the previous point, he made sure nothing went unchecked and made an entire world literally revolve around him. He can and WILL happily use all of his resources of excessive force he has like the cops, the Sugar Rush equivalent of S.W.A.T., and the fungeon to detain someone who stands in his way.

As a minor note, there's a line in the tarot guidebook that states the reverse of the card can represent "someone who needs to win at any cost." Which describes Turbo to a T. He not only wants attention but he's also extremely competitive. It's part of his programming, and it ties to his love for racing. To always come out on top and be #1. No matter who or what stands in his way.

That core drive (pun intended) was the cause of his villainy in the first place and earned him his infamous status in the arcade.

Okay, I don't want to sound too salty, but you can imagine my disappointment when King Candy didn't get a card.

Oh well, Its fine, I still love and use this deck.

So I guess we can call this the thrilling conclusion to the 3 part saga of including King Candy in Disney Villain merchandise.

Also as a sidenote: hypothetically if he did get this card, what would the imagery be?

I feel the card has the potential to get creative with the glitch effects. For example make it so that he's glitching between the Turbo appearance and the King Candy appearance. If we want to be a little cheeky, we could have it set in his castle, and out the window, we see a the cybug Ralph initially sent to SR flying outside a castle window. (similar to Hook's card as the crocodile is seen outside)

So basically, my interpretation would be a mix of these images and Captain Hook's card:

But, if anyone else has really cool ideas, I'd love to hear them! If you want, you could also draw it out to illustrate your point (pun intended) Honestly please do, I'd love to see other people's interpretations of this card for him. The possibilities are endless!

Join me in my antics next time when I analyze Frollo and and the card I think he should've gotten.

Welcome to the second quarter of 2024! The first one went by kind of fast, but at the same time, I felt like I was so present that I lost my sense of time. Does anyone else relate? Your hard internal work the past few months has led to a solid foundation for something wonderful to begin. Whether that’s in money, your career, or anything else that you treasure. Be like the Queen of Swords; she doesn’t mince words. She communicates her feelings, needs, and boundaries directly because she trusts herself first and foremost. You’re more capable and resilient than you may realize. It’s normal to experience doubt, but instead of falling apart, take a moment to reflect on your journey and how far you’ve come. Look around at what you’ve created and bask in that feeling of fulfillment. You’ve earned it. But this is only the beginning, so be excited for what’s to come. Animal Spirit Oracle: Hummingbird. A perfect animal to represent this time. You’ve laid the groundwork, but there’s still so much to learn in this life. Take a class, self-teach a new art form, experiment with your writing, try new things with someone you like. Let the excitement of each new day get you up and ‘em. 

[earthboundtimelord]

I have been reading a lot more lately. And researching more so that is fun. Currently I only have three books but I haven't completed any of them SO I am working on that right now. I think it is important to learn as much as I can from the materials that I have.

Currently the books I have are:

Moonology

Psychic Witch

Rebel Witch

Currently working on reading Moonology then I will work on the others. I like finishing books before starting new ones. Reading for me is hard in general but I am damn determined to read all the books I bought from cover to cover.

I have also been working on getting some new oracle and tarot decks as well as an affirmation deck as mentioned before.

Currently the decks I have are:

Moonology Oracle

Moonology Manifestation Oracle

Prism Oracle

Disney Villains Tarot

Good Omens Affirmation Deck

I am working on getting the money for the Good Omens tarot deck this November when it comes out. Gabriel, Muriel, and Beelzebub really want that deck and honestly do NOT blame them it looks really pretty. Doc also agreed to use that deck ( he hates the villain one lol ). So it is a win on all fronts.

Another thing I am working on is finding some keychains for Gabriel, Muriel, and Beelzebub. Which I have found just saving money for them as well the art is really cute. I have so much planned and it makes me oh so excited.

Also looking for more Doctor Who themed stuff for Doc mostly keychains and such for a bag I want to get to carry around my travel altar in. I want to have a bag to put keychains of the entities I work with in so I can feel closer to them when I am having a meltdown. I will show off the progress as I work on all of this.

Anyways thank you for listening to my rambling. And stay awesome!!!

Now for the deck review. The first deck I got was the Disney Villains Tarot, so this is the deck I will be reviewing.

Before getting into the witchy/actual tarot stuff, let's discuss the nerdy side briefly.

The cards have beautiful and eye-catching illustrations and they are pretty well themed around the villains about 98% of the time (IMO).

Also the span of villains is quite impressive. There's even some minor/underrated villains too like Bowler Hat Guy, Madame Mim and Medusa, and even Yzma.

As impressive as the span of villains is, there's a small handful not present.

For example, Frollo and King Candy/Turbo aren't present. (Which I'll admit is a slight let down, they're good villains and King Candy is my favorite but I digress).

(Not to plug my other blog but if you're interested in my opinion on why King Candy deserved the King of Swords card you could go here if you want.)

Anyway, onto the actual part of the review.

Overall: 10/10. I'm very satisfied with the deck (personally) I would totally buy it again if I lost it.

Quality: the cardstock is firm and fits nicely in the hands. It definitely shuffles comfortably and glides easily along a cloth surface. (I do tarot on my bed for reference, it works quite well)

So in terms of price, I think it's worth it to have for the $22.49 it was.

The Majors are quite delightful to look at. Probably the best illustrations in the deck (IMO). Again, they're themed after the villains, but a few heroes appear in them (as well as in the Minor Arcana).

The suits are the same, save for the pentacles, which are called coins in this deck. The wands are a bit more literal, being represented with actual wands and magical staffs.

I will say, that I do think the illustrations on the Minor Arcana could've been more detailed like the Major Arcana. They're much simpler.

The tarot deck guidebook is quite reliable and I'd say that it's very straightforward with the card meanings, which goes for both upright and reversals. It's also a good start for beginners to tarot (if they've also had prior experience with the Rider Waite tarot). It also includes a few tarot spreads. They're fun and thoughtful and they're a great addition.

As with the theming, the cards are tailored around the villains, so there's some elements from the villain's movies and motives thrown into the card meanings.

A potential downside I could see is that someone who's not as familiar with the Disney Villains may have some trouble connecting with the deck.

Due to the villain theme, it often focuses on the negative aspects of each card, which may not be for everyone. This can be a good thing though, for someone doing some shadow work or looking to navigate through difficult times and emotions.

So all in all, if you're someone who has a fondness for Disney Villains and likes doing some introspection and psychological work, this deck may be for you.

What Does The Deck Say? June 17, 2024

"And just how has that arrangement been working out for you? Have you been thriving and growing? Or have you been stagnating and rotting? However you measure progress, can you apply a positive marker of that measurement to what you have been receiving? Or is it time to step away from that thing that has not been of service to you? Take a true measurement of where you are, what you want to do, and what it will take to begin working towards that goal. And stop undermining yourself. You do not look like the examples in the textbook so why are you judging yourself by something that is deliberately impossible to reach. Do what you have to do to make yourself happy and if it means making someone else mad because they can’t exploit you anymore, well, that’s their problem, isn’t it."

The Disney Villains Tarot Deck is illustrated by Ellie Goldwine and based on the “bad guys” from several Disney movies. While the guidebook relies on the movie characters to provide context to the Major Arcana, the Noxporium Card Reader is barely acquainted with them and so reads the cards themselves as they present to the viewer. The Disney Villains Tarot Deck is ©Disney.

“What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck. No context or query is given to frame what the cards say as the posts are reading samples and not personal instruction. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and usually surprising. All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.

Readings are under the read more.  Video version is linked as source.

Had to make collage of the cards cause I forgot to take a pic of them all together when I had them out.

Pile 1/Rider-Waite - *Hopes*

The first card to come out was the 5 of Pentacles reversed.  This card is associated with letting go of a fear of loss.  Basically, you’re wanting to leave behind times where you’ve had to be concerned about money and potentially losing things that you need and/or value.

The second card to come out was the Queen of Wands.  This card is associated with confidence, as well as being bold and assertive.  Basically, I feel like this is how you want to be and that these are traits you may need to embrace.

The third card to come out was The High Priestess.  This card is strongly associated with trusting your intuition.  Basically, I feel like you want to trust yourself and your instincts more than you have in the past.

Overall, this pile seems to want to work on themselves and becoming more confident in themselves.

The first oracle card to come out was Expectation - Expect The Best.  Basically, try to hope for the best rather than falling back into old pessimistic thoughts that may be linked to the 5 of Pentacles that you’ve gone through in the past.

The second oracle card to come out was North Node - Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone.  Basically, I feel like this is encouraging you to embrace those Queen of Wands traits and step out of your comfort zone, which will likely help you to grow.  Definitely not an easy thing to do though.

The third oracle card to come out was Free Yourself - It’s Time To Take Back Control Of Your Life.  While this card came from the love deck, I feel like this applies more so just as a general message.  Basically, free yourself from where you’ve been and the concerns you’ve carried.  The fence on this card made me think of the 8 of Swords and more of a mental prison rather than a physical one.  Love-wise, this could be advising you to stay away from people that want to take away your freedom/sense of self.

Pile 2/Teddy *Hopes*

The first thing I noticed about this pile was that all of the tarot cards were Cups.  This suggests emotions are a major part of this pile, which the oracle cards went on to support.

The first card to come out was the 4 of Cups.  This card is associated with being kinda meh.  Not much exciting going on, but nothing really bad either.  The bear lurking behind the tree holding a cup stuck out to me quite a bit, since it made me think of the Knight of Cups and Page of Cups.  This made me think that some of you are wanting someone to offer you something that changes up the norm for you.  This doesn’t necessarily have to be romance-related, but I feel like it is for the majority of you.

The second card to come out was the 9 of Cups.  This card is associated with emotional fulfillment.  You’re happy without having to rely on others to make you happy.  Their may be a bit of loneliness here though, since this bear is alone compared to the 10 of Cups which generally shows a family.  

The third card to come out was the Ace of Cups.  This card is associated with a new emotional beginning.  This cup would also fit with that 9 of Cups to make the 10 of Cups.  I do feel like this does suggest that many of you are hoping for a worthwhile relationship opportunity to come your way.

The first oracle card to come out was Friendship - Care Is There.  Basically, just a reminder that there are people around you that do care about you, especially if you may be feeling lonely or a bit hollow.

The second oracle card to come out was New Moon In Aquarius - Bring Love Into The Situation.  This card can suggest trying a gentler approach to things.  I feel for the majority of you though that this card is simply supporting the fact that many of you are desiring love at this time.

The third oracle card to come out was Attraction - You Attract Romantic Love By Enjoying This Moment Fully.  Basically, I feel like this encourages you to embrace your happiness, which will likely bring you closer to attracting a partner that you desire.

Pile 3/Nightmare Before Christmas *Healing*

The first card to come out was the 5 of Presents reversed, which is basically the 5 of Pentacles in this deck.  This card is associated with letting go of a fear of loss.  Basically, you’re wanting to leave behind times where you’ve had to be concerned about potentially losing things that you need and/or value.  In this case, I think it’s more of situations rather than money that you’re changing your mindset about.

The second card to come out was the 3 of Needles, which is basically the 3 of Swords in this deck.  This card is associated with many negative emotions, including hurt, pain, sadness, and anger.  I feel like these are the emotions that you are experiencing and processing at this time.  While this isn’t a great place to be, it does seem like you are trying to address them rather than shove them down and trying to ignore them.

The third card to come out was the Knight of Needles, which is basically the Knight of Swords in this deck.  This card is associated with taking action on ideas.  Basically, I feel like this is you trying to avoid dwelling on the pain and negatives to try to move forward.  This doesn’t necessarily mean fully committing to any of these pursuits just yet, but testing the waters of possibilities.

The first oracle card to come out was Pounce - Decide To Act.  I feel like this goes with that Knight of Needles and taking action.  The cat on this card looks like a kitten to me rather than a full-grown cat which made me think of baby steps.  Again, just taking small steps of progress even if you feel like you should be doing more.

The second oracle card to come out was New Moon In Leo - Confidence Is Your Key To Success.  Basically, just believe in yourself and your ability to succeed.

The third oracle card to come out was True Love - This Is A Romance Of A Lifetime.  This had actually come out reversed, which made me feel like some of you had what you thought was a ‘true love’ not work out which is what has caused this 3 of Needles.  Others of you, I feel like this is the type of love that you are hoping for.

Pile 4/Chubby Bun *Healing*

The first card to come out was the 8 of Pentacles reversed.  This has to do with changing things up.  

The second card to come out was the Knight of Pentacles.  This has to deal with focusing on the details and being very thorough.  This isn’t a very fast-paced card and doesn’t rush things.

The third card to come out was the Hanged Bunny reversed, which is basically the Hanged Man in this deck.  This card is associated with having gotten stuck in how you’ve viewed a situation.  There may be a stubbornness with this card that contributed to this stuckness.  I do feel like this is what you’re healing from and why those other two card are what you’re doing to get unstuck.

The first oracle card to come out was Instigator - Gotta Start Something.  I get more of the gotta start something aspect of this more than the instigator aspect of this card.  Basically like an antsy feeling that pushes you to need to change that perspective that you had gotten stuck in.

The second oracle card to come out was Blue Moon - Believe In The Impossible.  Basically, believe that the impossible is possible for you.  I feel like this is believing that things can be better or change by these changes and steps that you are making.

The third oracle card to come out was Reconciliation - Someone From Your Past Is Returning To Your Life.  While this is a love card, I do feel like it could be outside of love too and just a general making amends with someone.  This card had also come out reversed, which may suggest that some of you had issues with a reconciliation attempt, possibly due to being unable to look at it another way.  That isn’t necessarily a bad thing though since some reconciliations aren’t for the best.

Pile 5/Disney Villains *Hopes*

The first card to come out was the 10 of Cups.  This card is associated with happy and healthy connections in your life.  Many versions of this card display a family on them, which suggests that many of you may desire a family of some sorts.  

The second card to come out was the Ace of Cups.  This card is associated with new emotional beginnings.  Basically, I feel like you want a new emotional offer with the potential to grow into that 10 of Cups.  This may be a new close friendship or romantic relationship.  

The third card to come out was the Knight of Wands reversed.  This card was odd to see with these cards to me.  Reversed, this knight isn’t the greatest to see in a love-type read like this.  This is someone that can be non-committal and kind of flaky.  Possibly like a player type of person or something like that.  There are two main ways that I could see this applying.  The first being that this is the type of person you usually are attracted to (or someone in particular that you’re attracted to) and you hope that they’ll change or have it in them to offer what you want.  The other is that this is you and you’ve generally been disinterested in serious relationships and settling down, but have begun changing that mindset a bit.  I feel like it is the latter option for most of you.

The first oracle card to come out was Curiosity - Worth The Risk.  Basically, something that you’re curious about is worth the risk.  This also is what leads me to believe that the Knight of Wands reversed from before generally represents you with a relationship being what you’re curious about.

The second oracle card to come out was Full Moon In Aries - A Fiery Climax Approaches!  This does suggest that something will come to an end soon for you.

The third oracle card to come out was Love Yourself First - Your Self-Respect Makes You More Romantically Attractive.  Basically, value yourself and know your worth.  This may involve not going for the typical reversed Knight of Wands type if that is who you generally go for.

2023 Overview Hologram Tarot

Year 4… It feels completely wrong to say. The unreality of time is undeniable now. How did last year change you? Take what you learned and use it because our overarching energy for this year is The Fool, representing new beginnings and limitless potential. Kronk is enthusiastic about this new journey, with his head held high. But he's also easily distracted and can become confused by the little devil and angel on his shoulder. Should you feel overwhelmed by conflicting inner dialogues, just take a moment to gather yourself before proceeding. Double-check that your shoelaces are tied before you take that leap.

January-April: We start with the Magician, which is fittingly the energy that follows the Fool's journey. We also got this card in the January spread, so take this as a confirmation of your power. Harness your creativity, Dr. Facilier says, because it's finally your time to shine. If you find you're feeling backed into a corner creatively, take a look at the options available to you. You may realize there's more than one way to accomplish your goal. Stay fluid, like Flotsam and Jetsom. Going with the flow doesn't mean just to let the sea carry you; it also reminds you to adapt. Use the currents to your advantage, and stay calm. What seems like a wrong turn at first could turn out to be a fateful redirection. Enjoy the ride without stressing about where you're heading. You never know who you might meet, so keep your heart open to love in all forms.

May-August: You've taken the initial steps and gotten your plan together, but you can't do this alone. Collaboration is key. Find others who understand your vision and who can use their own resources and skills to help you. You've gathered a lot of wounds over the years. You've learned so much from your pain, but now it's time to release what you don't need anymore, one sword at a time. Remember that endings can be painful, so be patient with yourself as you process what you've been through, especially if these past pains tend to play out as self-sabotage. Recall how Chernabog summoned his minions only to toss them into the flames. You deserve support and success, so don't be the one push others away. The tediousness and burdens of human life can be draining, so build a routine to care for your bodymind. This is especially important if you're taking on some new responsibilities. Be mindful of carrying too much and do what you can to avoid burn-out. You're no good to your dreams if you run yourself into the ground.

September-December: If we want a new way of life, naturally this means the death of the old way. Sometimes this transition is so scary that it keeps us stuck. Embrace the destruction of your old life with a sense of humor like Hades. On the other side of transformation lies renewal. You've gone through the acidity of the Underworld and can stand before the Mirror with clarity. You've been stripped bare of your old views and beliefs and can now see straight into your own core. Your heart is open and you're ready for this new life. Having gone through an intense cycle of death and rebirth, this open heart of yours feels strongly. By staying in touch with your sensitive center, you can help those in need, even just by being yourself. But an open heart doesn't mean you have to take on everyone's pain and projections. Stay grounded in your power, and know that even if others shit-talk your way of living, it says nothing about you and everything about them. Focus on your vision. You've come too far to betray yourself now.

Leliel, Angel of Night: This beautiful angel represents the glimmers of the unseen. She dances across the sky, kissing each star to life, to light the night. Through the constellations, she sings to us, filling our dreams with stories. She also rules over conception and pregnancy, and it is her job to harvest souls from the Garden of Eden for their purpose. In the womb, she reads the possible life paths available to the soul for this incarnation, but then wipes the child's memory before birth. She is aided by a wolfhound in protecting children from Lilith, battling in the realm of dreams.

The starry night sky reminds us that the universe is one big cosmic womb. What unseen battles are going on inside you? What messages does Leliel leave in the mythology of the stars for you to interpret? Listen to her lullabies and pay attention to your dreams. Feel her caress in the wind and know her love in the shining moon.

April 2023 Tarot Reading

Deck: Disney Villains Tarot Deck written by Minerva Siegel and illustrated by Ellie Goldwine

If this month isn't meant for creating goals, I don't know what other month it would be. 

The major arcana of The Chariot is driving forward and does not care who or what is in the way, Cruella gets what she wants there's no doubt about it. The obstacles that may come up this month may seem daunting at first but there is always a way around them when you think outside of the box. Don't let yourself down when things get difficult, instead look at it with a sense of opportunity.

The minor arcana, the Knight of Swords, is another force to be reckoned with. Percival McLeach is the embodiment of wants versus needs. McLeach wants every endangered species in his collection but it also doesn't mean he needs them. Think about your wants versus needs, what drives you forward this month that you really want but don't necessarily need? And what needs do you think needs to be tended? There may be several opportunities to reach your goals but this is what you want when there could be several opportunities to spend that extra five minutes tending to your personal growth and mental health as your need. Find a balance and routine that works for you! Don't let mental health drag your goals down as mental health and personal growth will always be on your list of goals whether short or long term.

I hope everyone has a wonderful April, a wonderful beginning to Spring, and a beautiful Ostara!
